Default - Project AE86 Drift Car -

I have finished most of the body work. All that is left is more sanding and filling. The car will be pink once it is painted. I ran out of primer, so I used some of the pink paint incase you were wondering why only parts of the car were painted. (The lip is from the new drift style Trueno autoscales. I'm mad that kyosho came out with those after I started my project haha).

Here are the progress pictures up until today: Please comment!









































Progress as of today:

Thanks! The wheels are made by Tagu. They are the 02Racing model, and are .5W all the way around.

Yeah every time I see one of your Mini Z's posted up on that minizracer forum. I am bamboozled on how much detail you put into them and not just that but the quality of your pictures is got to be best I have seen Mini Z's

This looks like it actually in one of the cars in formula drift or something that would be seen at a drifting event.

Definitive KILLER!

Is this the faze from XMW and other forums?
If so, welcome back.
If not, still, nice work!

Glad to see you posting again, Faze. As I've said before on other forums, awesome work thus far and I cannot wait for the final outcome!

Cheers,
Kyle.

Not my choice of color, but friggin' excellent body work and stance.

Sweed- I remember a Faze from xmw... I think? It's been a long time. We should meet there... Tonight. In the back parking lot.

taiwanesekid05 - Thanks! Means a lot!

Spoon_Tuner - Thanks for the kind words! I can't wait for it to be completed.

XMDrifter - At the rate I work, probably another month or so haha.

Sweed - Yea, that's me. I remember you from Infernal and XMW back in the day. I don't visit XMW anymore, that site went downhill.

Donziikid - Thanks. I never noticed this forum before, and i've seen some nice projects on here, so I decided to join. This forum seems to be very well organized and welcoming.

texan_idiot25 - Thanks! Yea, I remember seeing you on XMW too.

Nice! I was following this on MzR for a bit, and wondered where it went. I think the front lip would look better blended into the body like the skirt and rear lip.
